But the complaint could allow other women, whether their cases are time-barred or not, to join the proceedings, Otis\u2019 lawyer, Mathias Darmon, said in a statement to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint, seen by the AP, alleges rape of a minor and human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Sent to Paris in 1986 by Elite Model agency, Otis, who was then 17, was housed in Marie\u2019s apartment, \u201cmistakenly believing that he wanted to support her modeling career,\u201d according to the complaint. \u201cWhile living in the apartment, she alleges that she was raped on multiple occasions by the accused, who subsequently arranged for her to be provided to other wealthy men across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otis was never paid for her modeling work, the complaint said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to give other victims the opportunity to find the courage to join our complaint,\u201d Darmon said. \u201cWe are opening the door for all those affected by this internationally significant case to come forward and have their voices heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otis, 58, became a supermodel in the late 1980s and early 1990s, appearing on the covers of Elle, Vogue and Vanity Fair and featuring in the Pirelli calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=12552\">A federal judge strikes down Trump administration immigration policy affecting 39 countries<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Marie, a 76 year-old French national, supervised operations at Elite from 1985 to 2010, during a period when the agency dominated the modeling industry.
